Over the past decade and a half, research has made it increasingly clear why Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is often confused with Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD). Although certain behaviors may appear similar on the surface, the reasons behind them are fundamentally different. NPD and ASD can look similar from the outside because, in both, people may use protective or defensive patterns that make their behavior seem self-focused, volatile, or hard to read. Let us unpack that!

Autism and Narcissism are among most popular search terms in pop psychology. Yet, they are among the most misunderstood. It is very important to understand the difference and be able to distinguish when someone is using narcissistic strategies (presenting with traits of narcissism, which is often) vs true Narcissistic Personality Disorder (which is rare). As a practicing psychologist, I way too often hear "So narcissitic" used to describe someone who seems to have Subtle Autism. "Narcissistic. Arrogant and insensitive, self-absorbed and rude." Let us unpack the key terms to understand and demystify. Subtle autism refers to a presentation of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) that is often less obvious but still significantly impacts social functioning, communication, and flexibility in thinking and behavior. Narcissistic Personality Disorder is a clinical diagnosis characterized by a pervasive pattern of grandiosity, a need for admiration, and a lack of empathy that significantly impairs relationships, self-image, and functioning. Narcissistic traits are behaviors or characteristics that resemble NPD but do not meet the full criteria for a personality disorder. These traits may present in individuals as part of their coping mechanisms, personality styles, or adaptive social strategies.
